One has to guess that there will be some type of tread on there since metal cannot touch the carpet. Probably for some type of crab drive.

Looks pretty sweet. Good work guys.

wow..... if thats not for a pulley/track design, that is one beefy (outer perimeter
) wheel.
but why? hmm... it seems there wouldnt need to be quite as much material for a normal wheel or pulley. and the pop rivet holes??
and shiney..... and the axle..... its a stub.. no need for shaft collars then?
and uh. why 5spoke wheel+6 spoke sprocket? i woulda did the same spoke.
oh well. i want that sprocket tho,

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

i have no idea what that is, but i want one....

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Looks like Stang liked IFI's wheels :p

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

chrome too, mighty fine work you guys got going.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Wait wait wait, wieght? I know I can just see the pounds rolling by for my team's robot, but this seems rather big for a driving wheel.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

OMG ARE THOSE SPINNERS?! Nicely done :D Now all you need is airbags and a lowrider robot, then you got a nice ride.

1 word: Gorgeous!

*oohs and aaahs*

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

I want one.....
Looks like a chrome IFI wheel to me ;)

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Very nice!!

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

shinny

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

You know how it is guys, IFI's "Bid Pimpin' " but Wildstangs just Big-ger Pimpin'

Looks great guys, I especially like the work done to the sprocket and the sides of the wheel, Geeze you can even see a reflection of the sprocket in that chrome work looks great guys.

One note: the device has not been chromed - it's aluminum that Phil (a very determined student) spent a good amount of time polishing up.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Wow. That must have taken a lot of work...

Notice how Dave said "device" and not wheel ;)

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Hey Dave, can yo make up an extra one of these for me? I want to put one of these devices on my shelf.

I want one just to put on my mantle in my house...

as soon as I get a house. :p

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Sure, I might not be Dave, but I say thats pimp!

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Arefin likes shinny things. =)

... god knows what Wildstang is planning on doing.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Those look very nice. Its amazing what you can do with polishing compound.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Me wantee!!

Very impressive. I'm curious what the diameter is...my guess is no smaller than 8", but its difficult to judge. If so (and based on the sprocket), I'm guessing this is NOT a road wheel simply because it wouldn't be conducive to crab and WildStang would NEVER make a standard drive ;)

Can't wait to see it up here in Milwaukee!

I think that this "device" is part of Wildstang's shooter mechanism.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

not sure if anyone else did this...

but i counted out the sides and its 21... just like IFI's wheels =X

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

45 tooth sprocket its prolly gon na have some torque

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

Looks like it could be part of your pit display showing how to make a tank wheel with a sprocket and applying chrome to it.

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

i'm gonna say drive wheel, because of the sprocket. i think that unless the connecting sprocket is either very large, or spinning at a very high speed, this sprocket is for gearing down. and it looks a #25 sprocket to me, which would put the wheel dia. around 6".

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

OOH! Shiny!! :D

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

I wish we had machine tools

Re: pic: WildStang 2006 Teaser 1
 

An intake device??
A device for transfering balls to a shooting mechanism?
A device for driving a belt to do something within the robot?

As Dave gave away, it IS a device! :)

After seeing what WildStang has put together for past competitions, guessing what they are using this "device" for is just as fruitless as trying to make heads or tails of the game design committee's cryptic clue!

Sweet looking "device" Dave! Can't wait to see what it is for!

"Bling bling Yo!" That's all I can say. Awesome work.

I'd put money on it being a non drive wheel. That's some very thin sheet metal to start with. I sure wouldn't want to mill out spokes and then put them in my drivetrain where they'll be under a ton of load.
